Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, low-moisture
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, full-fat
  • 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1 large egg , lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, whole milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for filling)
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine 1 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella and 2 tablespoons cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Microwave for 60 seconds, stir, and microwave for another 30 seconds until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  • Incorporate 3/4 cup almond flour, the beaten egg, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder into the cheese mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each into a circle between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, and oregano.
  • Spoon the ricotta mixture onto one half of each dough circle, leaving space at the edges, and layer the pepperoni slices on top.
  • Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal tightly.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut small ventilation slits on the top of each calzone.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the crust is deeply golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
